Key quote: “Solar is no longer just cheap daytime electricity; now it’s anytime dispatchable electricity."
I'm retired and out of the renewable energy space, but cheap battery storage is *key* to integrating renewable (solar and wind) into the grid. Shaves peak load and has other benefits, too.
Battery storage hits $65/MWh – a tipping point for solar
Battery storage costs have fallen to $65/MWh, making solar plus storage economically viable for reliable, dispatchable clean power.

Stalemate, my ass. The GOP -- and a not insignificant chunk of the Ds -- are the sole property of Fortune 500 companies and the richest 1 percent of the population.

Merry Christmas, America. They don't give a fuck about you, the other 99 percent. They don't care if you live or die.
Today, MAGA Republicans in the Senate blocked the Democratic proposal to fund the tax credits that keep health care affordable for working people.

Washington families are facing monthly cost increases of hundreds or even thousands of dollars thanks to the votes of the MAGA majority.

In America, crimes don’t decide your fate — your bank balance does. If you’re poor, it grinds you into the pavement. Justice isn’t blind — she just charges admission, and only the wealthy can afford the ticket.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...
@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

The lil' dustup between Sen. Mark Kelly and "War Department" secretary Pete Hegseth could be over quickly if they acted like gentlemen, had a cordial, thought-sharing luncheon meeting, and before shaking hands at the end, the former astronaut beats the living hell out of the little poser twerp.

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.

He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.

Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.
